Abstract

Blowflies (Calliphoridae) form a diverse, species-rich group, yet publicly available genome assemblies are limited to only sixteen species despite recent genomic advances. This knowledge gap extends to mitogenomes and barcode databases, which mainly focus on medically and veterinary-important species. While blowfly phylogenetics has progressed, additional genome sequencing is crucial for various subfamilies given their diverse life histories. This review presents a quantitative overview of available genetic information for blowflies, highlighting substantial gaps in public databases. DNA barcodes, mitogenomes and genomes represent only 16.5% (342 species), ~3% (53 species) and <1% (16 species) of known family diversity, respectively. While 183 genomics-related calliphorid BioProjects are recorded by NCBI, many subfamilies and genera have limited or no genomic representation, impacting studies on identification, systematics, phylogenetics and evolution. We stress the urgent need for high-quality reference genomes and highlight target species representing all blowfly subfamilies to support new era of rapid, low-cost genomic research.

牛虻基因组学：当前见解、知识差距和未来展望。

吹蝇（Calliphoridae）是一个种类繁多、物种丰富的类群，尽管最近基因组学取得了进展，但公开的基因组组装却仅限于 16 个物种。这一知识空白还延伸到了有丝分裂基因组和条形码数据库，它们主要集中在医学和兽医学上重要的物种上。在系统进化论取得进展的同时，鉴于各亚科的生活史各不相同，对它们进行更多的基因组测序至关重要。本综述对现有的吹蝇基因信息进行了定量概述，强调了公共数据库中存在的巨大空白。DNA条形码、有丝分裂基因组和基因组分别只占 16.5%（342 个物种）、~3%（53 个物种）和

期刊介绍： Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year. The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science. -Ecology -Insect genomics -Global Change Biology -Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity) -Pests and Resistance -Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control -Behavioural Ecology -Development and Regulation -Social Insects -Neuroscience -Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field. Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
